Posted: March 3rd, 2009 | Author: Calvin | Filed under: Relationships, Web | Tags: , | 1 Comment »

Through a few conversations and some of my own experience, I just had some funny thoughts on how dating has changed in our generation. So this note will be written a little different then some of mine in the past, it will be more like before and after.

Before

- Boy sees Girl somewhere on the street
- Boy asks around about Girl
- Boy approaches Girl and asks for number

After

- Boy sees Girl in Facebook photo of a mutual friend that tagged her
- Boy asks mutual friend about tagged Girl and if possible reads her profile and finds out about her
- Boy asks Girl to be her Friend and chats through facebook

- Boy and Girl have a long distance relationship and they write letters/phone calls/send pictures
